I'm now left wondering how much the controversial reception of MEA had to with Aaryn leaving the GM position. I hope he leaving BW was without issues.

I... I don't know how to feel about this. man!!! really, me too!! Is bioware having problems ? too much staff moving in and out! I mean change is good but... what>? mind blown! I'm conflicted due to Casey Hudson, along with Mac Walters, being solely responsible for ME3 endings we got. While sure Hudson created Mass Effect universe, ME3 endings still rub me the wrong way and especially his poor response to controversy at the time.

I'm now left wondering how much the controversial reception of MEA had to with Aaryn leaving the GM position. I hope he leaving BW was without issues. I am wondering too. He was very involved in the romance options upset especially, which caused a huge protest and led to an added romance option. He even said he didn't get why people wanted squad romances and thought Gil was perfect for gay players. I see but truly I was more thinking about the development process and the animation issues that plagued the game at launch.

He sure learned from his mistakes and is ready to overcome any remaining backlash stuff that will come, after all IMO, he returned fully aware of this. Sad to see Aaryn go, wish him a happy journey and success from now on and I'm happy to see Casey come back. Unexpected, that was.

Good for him. I personally am extremely conflicted. On one hand Casey helped make Mass effect what it is, but on the other is ME3s ending debacle (and that day one DLC). I can forgive but its hard to forget.

Someone better versed in Bioware lore; what's Hudson responsible for and what's Flynn responsible for? Hudson is responsible for the ME trilogy, and the initial foundation of Anthem, you could give Flynn credit for DAI I suppose but Mark Darrah was the Casey Hudson of that game. Hudson's return hopefully means whatever shit show happened back then that caused hudson to leave and threw MEA's development cycle in disarray is over. That something along the lines of EA realizing their fault and offering to take a step back if he returns...just speculative of course but I hope. One thing for sure is that he is going to kick some serious ass and i'm he will be given much more flexibility from EA to make the games proper than they did for andromeda.

Someone better versed in Bioware lore; what's Hudson responsible for and what's Flynn responsible for? Casey Hudson is one the three creators of Mass Effect universe, as well was a producer of ME franchise for entire trilogy. Flynn is one of long time BioWare developers, worked on KoTOR and Dragon Age games. As well had taken over BioWare studio leadership after BioWare founders Ray Muzyka and Greg Zeschuk retired back in 2012.

I see but c'mon ME is his baby, you can bet he is going to influence future development of the franchise one way or the other. He did say "When I look at the stunning progress Aaryn and the team has made with Anthem, and the other projects in the works, I truly believe our best is yet to come." We know MEA is planned as a saga. It could also mean next Dragon Age game, but still. Mass Effect is Casey's baby, he will likely put significant effort to keep ME franchise going. As well he can always be moved from General Management position and transferred back to work specifically on Mass Effect on some senior position.

I feel that though much of this is because of Anthem, it's also because of how bad things got with MEA. Well if the kotaku article is to be believed I'd reckon it has to mostly do with ME:A. A manager makes sure people get shit done, which was the exact issue that crossed ME:A development. With Anthem coming around I'm sure EA wants to make sure nothing goes wrong.

No, Casey left because he wanted to work on other projects in another studio. Why did he return back is a mystery for now.

With Anthem coming around I'm sure EA wants to make sure nothing goes wrong. Yeah if Anthem went the route of MEA, people would also likely lose faith in DA4 and any other planned ME games. ME is Casey's though, so I am sure he'll want to be good to it too. Let also keep in mind that Battlefront 2 is taking a huge step in an area DICE is not familiar with (story). If that flops or under preforms EA will need Anthem to keep the share holders happy.

Tbh, it doesn't really matter what he'll be working on. This man made KOTOR and the ME trilogy what they were. There is no scenario where this won't be positive.
I'm sorry to see Flynn go, though. DAI was awesome.

The more I think about this the more I am encouraged. The ME trilogy was his baby so if they bring back the guy that was the driving force behind the orginal Mass Effect it tells me they haven't given up on Mass Effect.

I... I don't know how to feel about this. The same here. I don't hate Hudson or anything but I don't know what he can do to "fix" or "correct" whatever internal problems that BioWare seem to has these days (and to be honest there are some problems he can't fix because of EA's constant melding), but on the other hand if he can at least try to help BioWare get back on track and if he succeeds then I'm all for it.
